[bolger] Re: DEAD SEA SCROLLS FOUND!
Chuck,
Thanks for the great resource. I printe them out and ring bound
them. I hope I'll be able to tell what the now questionable advice is;-)
thanks for going to the trouble of posting them.

good tips along the way, a good bit of content of interest to Micro builders

In any case, I've archived them in .pdf files on Private Postings (about

Chuck, what a find! I do a monthly volunteer newsletter (unrelated stuff)
and can appreciate the effort involved in these nine issues. I printed four
of them before I could tear away to post this note, will get the rest later.
Hint to those printing pdf's: use the printer icon in the Acrobat Reader
frame - it assures that the formatting inherent in pdf files is preserved.
Strange results sometimes when printing pdf's from a browser.

Happy 2000 to you and to the list! I had a nice party last night at home
with family and relatives, with two US colleagues who joined us since
they're here in Italy for business.
Chuck, thanks a lot for your efforts in making such nice stuff available
to all of us. You should be still awake at this time, aren't you?
Again, thanks, and best of all

Hello all, and Happy 2000!
While cleaning out some of the twentieth century debris to make room for the
twenty-first century debris, I ran across a file of pre-Internet newsletters
of twelve years ago, called "The Instant Boatbuilder". It was sort of like
discovering "The Dead Sea Scrolls" of our group, and was published by a
boat dreamer named Jeff Hull (in real life a pediatrician) in Corpus
Christi, Texas. He'd bought a set of "Martha Jane" plans from Elrow, and
caught up in the wonder of his new obsession decided to put out a monthly
newsletter. The effort lasted a total of nine issues and died. Apparently
he came up for air and realized that he could either be a kid doctor or
publisher/boatbuilder, but not both.

contained in the nine newsletters was that Jeff went out and solicited
material for content from other boat nuts and guru's around the country.
